PASCO, WA– The 2026 Annual Regional High School Art Show is now on display at its new home inside the Richland Public Library, showcasing more than 250 works of art created by talented high school students from 13 schools across five Southeastern Washington school districts. Coordinated by Educational Service District 123, the exhibit will be open to the public March 3–12.

This year’s juried show features artwork from the Finley, Kennewick, Pasco, Richland, and Walla Walla school districts. Fifteen Judges Choice awards, 10 Honorable Mentions, and six Superintendent’s Choice awards will be presented, celebrating exceptional creativity and craftsmanship. In addition, Central Washington University (CWU) will award scholarships to selected student artists in recognition of their outstanding work.

Students will be recognized during a public awards ceremony on Thursday, March 12 at 5:30 p.m. in the Richland High School cafeteria. Prior to the ceremony, students, families, and community members are invited to attend an Artists’ Open House from 4:00–5:15 p.m. at the Richland Public Library, where they can view the exhibit and celebrate the creativity and talent of student artists from across the region. Judge’s Choice recipients from the ESD 123 Regional High School Art Show will advance to represent our region at the State Superintendent’s Art Show, hosted this spring in Olympia by the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI).
